1 | Why didn't Moses enter the Promised Land | Num 20:12 | Ray | 66922 | ||
Hi Robert, I hesitate to enter into your good discussion with Charis, but I wanted to talk about the verses that you compared. I, have wondered as Charis has about if Moses had enough against him to keep him from the "promised land", that is "heaven". But the passage in 1 Corinthians reminds me that it is not up to us to judge before the time. God is the One who will judge for he knows our hearts. 1 Corinthians 4:4b, "but the One who examines me is the Lord/." v.9, "For, I think, (God) has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men." We too, as rebellious people can be approached by our leaders, whether they be Moses or Paul types, with either a rod or with love and a spirit of gentleness. What do you desire? See 1 Cor 4:21. I think you are exactly right, Robert in saying that Moses gave the wrong impression of the source. In thinking of that, I went to John 4:10 and see that Jesus would have given living water to the woman at the well. She didn't see how He could draw the water and said, "where then do You get that living water?" But Moses had said, "Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?" So he was giving a wrong impression, as you say. In comparing it with John 7:38 and that most difficult understanding; I still lean toward 'From His innermost being shall flow rivers of water." Thanks for your thoughts, guys; carry on. From the heart, Ray |
